Boudoir Secrets

Chapter 45

Paul looked at his phone and smiled.Things were definitely looking up.

"James! Come and meet Mr York. He has come to our firm looking for alternative legal representation. The work is delicate and your forte."

Bill was waving at him from the doorway of their boardroom, intent on his presence. James sighed. Nearing the entrance he peered in and noticed Arianrhod's father seated at the table, cradling a cup of coffee and in deep discussion with his daughter. He blanched. Regaining his composure he entered the room as though nothing was going on, nor out of the ordinary.

Upon seeing his face, Arianrhod did a double take. She had not expected him here. Nor in an Armani suit! What game was James playing? A lawyer? Senior partner? Top law firm in the country??

"How do you do? How may I help you?"

He shook hands with both of them coldly and sat down. James was in 'business mode' and he was not going to let anyone get under his skin. Even his tone and language screamed successful attorney! He didn't make eye contact with her, maintaining his composure was difficult enough without that distraction!

Mr York looked at him enquiringly with bunched eyebrows, obviously recognising the face but unable to place it. Shrugging it off as déjà vu, he pushed the folders and envelopes at James. Arianrhod was sitting in open-mouthed stupor, trying to recollect herself.

James glanced inside an envelope and stood.

"Please follow me to my office where we can discuss this matter privately."
